Series 1 contains typescript copies of many of Bradfield's lectures and other writings, mainly about Sydney. Examples include, 'Sydney –Past Present and Future' (presented to the London Town Planning Institute in 1922), 'The Sydney Harbour Bridge and City Railway' (presented at the Mosman Town Hall in 1926), 'Population and transportation problems of the city of Sydney' (presented to the Town Planning Association of NSW 1916), 'Murrumbidgee Irrigation Scheme, Part 1, Burrinjuck Dam, weirs and regulators, main canals' (presented at Queensland University in 1918), 'Engineering developments in NSW since the inauguration of the Commonwealth' (presented at the P.N.

In 1924 Bradfield received the first doctorate of science in engineering at the Sydney University for his thesis on electric railways and the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
The typescript lectures are in exercise books in numerical order (1-78). Numbers 8,9,16,17,18,30,69 and 74 have not been received. No. 35 Index to Papers appears to be a draft to the lecture index. There are some discrepancies between the index in file one and the numbers that appear on the typescripts.
